A plasma etching method includes plasma-etching a silicon oxide layer through a mask using a process gas, the process gas containing oxygen gas and a fluorohydrocarbon shown by the formula (1), CxHyFz, wherein x is an integer from 4 to 6, y is an integer from 1 to 4, and z is a positive integer, provided that (y+z) is 2x or less. A contact hole having a very small diameter and a high aspect ratio can be formed in a substantially vertical shape without necking by plasma-etching the silicon oxide layer using a single process gas. |
